I heard that with windows vista , if you plug in a memory stick , it will add to your RAM memory ? Is this true ?

The new feature is called "ReadyBoost" and it uses the USB memory stick to temporarily cache (store) the files it reads from the hard drive (C:) in order to speed things up if it needs the same files again. A lot of older memory sticks will NOT work with this feature -- Windows Vista tests the USB stick to see if it is fast enough and will not use it if the performance is too slow.
However, this is NOT really the same as adding more memory to a computer. You will see a MUCH bigger performance gain by actually adding real memory to your computer.

Yes. Vista is programmed to treat USB Flash memory as RAM.

Nope. homestead windows 7 is a lots smaller replace than Vista grew to become into. formally, it has the comparable equipment standards. Unofficially, it is going to run greater valuable than Vista on systems with the minimum RAM.
